City of London Penthouse Apartment

This is the original description by the host

Being between London's financial center, Liverpool Street and the arts and media centre, Brick Lane and Shoreditch, in the heart of Spitalfields E1 is one of the most interesting areas to be in London. You get a sense of being in the capital when you stand on either of the two balconies alongside the sky scrapers that surround you. When you walk out of the front door to the street you are immediately surrounded by British Victorian buildings. This contrasting mix is consistent across London through it's music, arts, language, food and people.

Walk to many of London’s key attractions. Hoxton and Spitalfields are literally on the door-step, where you’ll find art galleries, museums, boutique shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and markets. The Tate Modern, London Dungeon, The Museum of London and the Design museum are within walking distance. The heart of both London’s financial district and the art and media centers are within minutes of the apartment.

The lift brings you to the top floor of a contemporary building, where the 60m2 suite sits with its two balconies, running the entire length of the apartment. One faces North with great views of the city the other faces South towards Aldgate and the River Thames. Frying Pan Alley is a walkway, which means the apartment although being positioned in the heart of bustling London, enjoys almost complete silence guaranteeing the perfect nights sleep.

The apartment is designed to modern standards with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, 32-inch LCD TV, DVD player, High speed WIFI internet connection and freeview Cable television. There is also an ipod/iphone/MP3 docking station so that you can enjoy your music. So that you are fully entertained in the apartment there is a library of books and DVD's for both children and adults.

It takes 17 minutes via Liverpool Street’s Central line to get to Oxford Circus and the many theatres of London’s West End. The Central Line runs through the heart of London and stops a five minute walk away from the apartment. Spitalfields market is also within 200 metres of the apartment.

There’s a luxury king size double bed in the bedroom and an extremely comfortable (and easy to use) king size folding sofa bed in the living room. Both beds are fitted with 4 luxury pillows of different sizes and softness as well as luxury bedclothes to ensure that no matter what you prefer your bed to be like, you’ll enjoy a good nights sleep!
